Little Giant Page #9

Synopsis: Lou Costello plays a country bumpkin vacuum-cleaner salesman, working for the company run by the crooked Bud Abbott. To try to keep him under his thumb, Abbott convinces Costello that he's a crackerjack salesman. This comedy is somewhat like "The Time of Their Lives," in that Abbott and Costello don't have much screen time together and there are very few vaudeville bits woven into the plot.

you'd make that much. She didn't?

Benny.!

Oh!

Mom!

I'm glad you're back,

son. I'm glad too, Mom.

Ruby!

Mr. Chandler,

Uncle Clarence, P.S.

Gee whiz, gosh almighty,

what did I do wrong now?

Hello, Benny? How's our star salesman?

It's about time

you got home, young man.

He thought he'd done

something wrong.

Now relax, Benny. Mr. Van

Loan drove us here in his car.

He's been telling us how you sold nine

cleaners in one day. It was a mistake.

No! When you believed you could

read minds, it gave you confidence.

I'm so convinced

you can do it again,

I'm appointing you sales

manager of our Cucamonga branch.

Me?

Sales manager?

What'll Mr. Morrison say? Mr.

Morrison isn't with us any longer.

Mr. Chandler is our

new general manager.

You? Good. Yes.

And here,

here's a check...

for that double commission

I promised you. Thank you.

And this is a

special cash prize...

you neglected to pick

up last night. Thank you.

I'm still a salesman

and now a manager. I...

Benny? All right, Benny. Benny!

Oh my goodness.

M-M-Martha!

Benny!

I must get my glasses. It looks

like $10,000! That's right.

And not a nickel too much when you

consider what Benny saved the company.

Mom, here's the $10,000 I promised

you. Here's the bonus check.

Buy your rockin' chair. Son.

Speech, speech.

Come on.

Oh no. I really

don't know what to say.

Sometimes when you get stuck for words,

a humorous story will do the trick.

The one about the husband

and the wife...

Wife?

Will you excuse us?

Surely.

Unfinished business?

Come on, folks.

Breakfast is gettin' cold.

Mama! Mama!

Martha just said yes!

We're gonna be married.
